Carrots give these rolls a great flavor and wonderful color.
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced carrots
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 8 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
1. Place carrots in a saucepan and cover with water; cook until tender. Drain and place in a blender or food processor. Add eggs and 1/2 cup water; puree until smooth.
2. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in remaining water. Add carrot mixture. Stir in oil, sugar, molasses, salt and 5 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Shape into balls. Place 2-in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350F.
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes until browned.
